What does airplane mode on my phone mean?

Question

I got my phone about a year ago, and when I was exploring it, I found this thing called Airplane Mode. I know it probably allows me to keep my phone on while I'm on the plane, but why does it allow me to do that, and is it safe to rely on, or should I just turn my phone off? Thanks

Answer 1

It allows you to use stuff on your phone like camera, un-web based games, calculator, etc...It is on but it isn't transmitting any cell phone signals (So no calls can be reieved or made).

Answer 2

i can barely save numvbers on my phone.

Answer 3

airplane mode will prevent any outgoing and incoming calls as well as online access, I have it on my phone, but I just follow the turn your cell phone off rule when on an airplane

Answer 4
